Yeah, I read about that, too. I saddened me that he didn't feel like he "fit in" because of his depression. I know that the Osmonds have had their struggles, but growing up in a family with a media image of always being almost preternaturally squeaky-clean good-spirits must have been rough for the kid. Like, "I have the big teeth, oodles of brothers & sisters/relatives, but none of the trademark Osmond joy." Poor kid.

The thing that really caught me about that picture is her mouth. The rest of it can be debated, but what the hell. She has such a nice beautiful smile in the first picture and then she's all pinched and haggard looking in the second. Maybe it's something to do with losing weight? I dunno..

I'm not even sure about the nose. This could just be a case of losing weight and being haggard and having a more skeletal face. She might be about that age where you start to lose the facial fullness and suppleness. Like Catherine Deneuve said (paraphrasing here) "at some point you have to choose between your face and your ass."

I'm gonna agree with you guys on the nose, but the eyes and lips could really just be a case of make up. If you notice in the second picture, her eyebrows aren't as groomed and don't have any make up on them to make them look as 'sculpted' as in the first photo, and she doesn't have nearly as much lipstick and liner on... also her face is at more of an angle which could totally make her eyes appear a bit different. and she's got frosted eyeshadow on in the second one, which is defining her lids WAY more than the first, where the more earthy colors blend everything. Not defending someone that young possibly having work done, but I think in the eye department, I'd give her the benefit of the doubt for now. The nose, on the other hand... WTF? Her nose looked just fine to begin with!! in fact, I think it looked better!!!

That is sad humanist. She is so young and already pretty. It looks like she had her nose sculpted and maybe a mini eye brow lift. How do I know such things? I saw a People article with Heidi Montag about all her facial surgeries. Women so young should not be getting so much face work.

Am I the only one hoping for an album of duets between Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson? It could be a mix of the alt rock hits of yesteryear and multiple Take My Breath Away Covers. It. Would. Be. Awesome.

Ha! Actually, it doesn't seem like such an odd couple in the sense that I think Jessica likes someone to be in control and tell her what to do. Billy is kinda legendary for being a control freak and bossy.

Oh and the last track could be a cover of Hello and they could recreate the video frame by frame and Jessica could make a clay bust of Billy's head! I need this to happen.

Um, I know this is not in the context of the thread, Lananans, but you'd do waaaaay better to find an alt major as j school. With the death of paper media, j school has become pretty much completely pointless. It's like having a degree in verbal hamburger making & hot oil fry tossing.

Tiger Woods' wife is probably leaving him. I saw a teaser for a whole segment on some tabloid show, I think THe Insider, about should she stay or should they go. Since starting journalism school these things make me really angry. Who are they to pass judgement???

The plot thickens! They've gotten a TRO against Court that could be made permanent the first of the year. Court Crackbooked it up & ranted & raved about her manipulative, willful child. Gee, Court, you were such a great role model as the wee lass grew up, no?

I remember being sometimes embarrassed by my parents as a teen, but that was in a shitty little Kansas hick town. To have HUGE SWATHES of the world know my dad committed suicide (I've never bought the CL hitman story. She can barely dress herself, let alone hire a hitman) & left me in the care of my insane-o mom that won't stop tweeting/FBing all of her incomprehensible nonsense/business to everyone? That poor kid, indeed. Thank goodness the majority of Kurt's estate goes to the kid & not Court.

Of course, that could just be me & my mean girl antics saying that.

". . . That rock icon Patti Smith and British actor Ralph Fiennes have been spotted out on numerous occasions in New York, sparking rumors they are dating." - NYPost

Is it just me or does Patti look like Harry Dean Stanton in a wig in this photo? And we all know Ralph has a thing for the more mature ladies!

The theory I heard about why she isn't emancipated yet is that it would complicate issues with her trust fund or whatever financial arrangement she has going on if she didn't wait until she was 18. Don't know if that's a valid reason or not.

Poor kid.
